The Google map feature located my laptop to within 3 houses of where it is, a feat that I still have yet to figure out. Below is from Nside Track:

Track your laptop

Receive Google Maps images pinpointing your laptop’s location

Take webcam pictures of the thief using your laptop

Take screenshots of the thief’s activity on your stolen laptop

No Monthly or Yearly Fees

Access your laptop remotely with your cellphone to encrypt folders and files or lock it down

Access your stolen laptop remotely from another computer to encrypt folders and files or lock it down

Access your stolen laptop remotely to type a message for your laptop to read aloud at full volume

All of the above works quite well, and for only a one time fee you can license the program for keeps. The only thing i find a bit disturbing about it is that I could have “installed” it on someone else’s computer without them even knowing it. My AVG program didn’t find it a threat, Windows firewall never asked for a port being open, and the program runs as a service, no icon on your desktop, or in your start up menu.

The possibilities of using this to “spy” on someone are endless! Your husband, wife, kids, boss, girlfriend, boyfriend, enemy, or just about anyone your curious about and can access their computer are all fair game. Recently, Arlen Specter has introduced a bill to include web cam surveillance under the federal wiretap law already in place. In essence, if you use this (or other programs like it) on someone else’s computer (Or your own?) it will be considered a felony.

Me? I think it’s a great program, technology at it’s best. Here is what is sent to me via my email address every minute of every day,(can be adjusted remotely)
